I'm working on a story for The Chicago Tribune about baby boomers and entrepreneurship. I am looking for people in the Chicago area who have started businesses after the age of 50 or so. Know someone who fits the bill? Email nnix@tribune.com﻿

Today, The Chicago Tribune ran my story about how the government and non-profits are capitalizing on the local food movement to recruit and train young would-be farmers. There is increasing demand for locally-grown food and governments seem to support a more localized food production system. But I wonder if everyone thinks this is a good thing?﻿
